Western Landowners Alliance is hosting an upcoming webinar on the USDA NRCS Regenerative Agriculture Pilot Program and what it means for producers across the West. The webinar will provide an overview of NRCS’s new regenerative pilot effort, which is designed to support producers in adopting conservation practices that improve soil health, water quality, and overall working lands resilience. The program builds on existing NRCS tools and programs, such as conservation planning and financial assistance, to better support whole-farm, systems-based approaches to management.

Participants will hear directly from NRCS leadership, including Eric McTaggart, National Regenerative Pilot Coordinator, who brings extensive experience in conservation planning and program delivery, as well as Jackie Byam, Wyoming State Conservationist, and Andi Neugebauer-Bailey, Wyoming State Resource Conservationist. Together, they will share insights into how the pilot is being implemented, how it fits within existing NRCS programs, and what producers can expect when engaging with the effort.

The webinar will also feature producers with firsthand experience implementing conservation practices, offering practical, on-the-ground perspectives about what works, what challenges to expect, and how these practices can benefit agricultural operations in western landscapes.
